Last night I embarked on a new adventure in my life. While I have surrounded myself with media, I have always shied away from the technology behind media making. Well, I am finding out that I have more guts than I thought! Yesterday was my first final cut pro editing class and so far so good. Granted, we only went through the basic but I thought I would be a goner by this point.
Editing has always interested me. My last semester of college I took an Aesthetic of Editing class and absolutely fell in love with the craft…and it wasn’t only because the instructor looked exactly like my Dad and I felt compel to hung him after every lecture…I didn’t. Come on people, I have more social grace than that…I mean barely but still I didn’t want to scare the poor man. He was probably so terrified of me already seeing as I was fixated on every word he said always. A)he is a brilliant man and B)the uncanny resemblance to my father was seriously ridiculous and since my father passed away when I was young the weird affections towards my instructor could be explained but I so didn’t want to go there with him.
Affections aside, I learned that I loved the craft of editing and hopefully with some luck and hard work I might actually be great at this…wish me luck y’all!!!!! (I’m not southern I just felt like saying y’all…it’s jaunty and makes me happy!)
